Ko Hikurangai te Maunga, Ko Uawa-nui-a-rua-matua toku awa, Ko Horouta tōku waka, ko Ngāti Porou, Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Pākehā ōku iwi. Ko Riki Paea tōku ingoa.

My Social Work practice centres around Kaupapa Māori and trauma informed practice, emphasising the mana and tapu of tamariki, tāne, wāhine, tāngata katoa.

I have worked alongside whānau from various backgrounds, including at-risk youth, youth and adult victims and offenders, and individuals who have experienced significant trauma.
